Twenty-four-year-old chess grandmaster Magnus Carlsen destroyed
three opponents simultaneously while playing blindfolded in a
timed match early this month at the Sohn Conference in New York
City.

Carlsen's challengers included Wall Street financier J.
Christopher Flowers, the chairman and founder of J.C. Flowers
& Co; Paul Hoffman, the president and CEO of the Liberty
Science Center; and actor Gbenga Akinnagbe from "The Wire."

The challengers were not blindfolded. Meanwhile, Carlsen had to
envision each of his opponents' boards in his head while he made
his moves.

The Sohn Conference, which was held May 4, is one of the biggest
hedge fund gatherings of the year. The annual event raises funds
for pediatric cancer research.
